April 6, -Mixtures-

Materials:
copper 2 sufate information-
http://cartwright.chem.ox.ac.uk/hsci/chemicals/copper_II_sulfate.html
Harmful when injested.

Safety
  • Goggles
Plan:
we are going to time how longeach solution takes to disolve in water.
10 ml of water
a small amount of the solution

Hypothesis: I think the zinc oxide will dissolve faster then the copper 2 sulfate.

Independent variable: type of solute, and levels- Z2O and CuSO2
Dependent varialble: the time it takes to dissolve.

What happened:
The Copper 2 Sulfate created a solution and the zinc oxide made a suspension.

April, 13 -Solutions- (kool-aid lab)

Materials:
  • triple beam balance
  • koolaid poweder
  • test tubes
  • water
Plan:
We are going to put 1g, 2g, and 3g in 20mL of water.

hypothosis: The more powder we add in the darker red the color will be

Independent variable: amount of solute
Dependent variable:

May 10 -The Law of Conservation of Mass-

Question: How will the mass of the reactants compare to the mass of the products in a reaction that produces a solid precipitate?
Indepedant Variable: the mass of the reactants (g)
Dependant variable: the mass of the products (g)
Constants: the mass of the glass wear
What we saw: When we combined the two chemicals they turned bright yellow. This created a suspension because it was opaque.IMG_2543.JPG

May 12 -Alka-Seltzer Lab-

Question: How will the mass of a reactant and the mass of the product compare to the mass of the reactant that produces a gas?
Hypothosis:
IV: mass of the reactant (g)
DV: mass of the product (g)
constants: balance, amount of water. glass wear
Summary: Between the reactants adn the products there was little change
